Today’s Topic: Vendor/Sponsor Elevator Pitches
As you know, I’m here to help you find that “unique” factor in your life and in your business to help you stand out among the competition because to blend in means to go unnoticed.And people don’t buy from people they don’t notice. And today I want to talk about vendor/sponsor elevator pitches.

Expect to Receive a ‘Mother Load’ of Referrals
People who ask for referrals, receive referrals. I have known people who have received 90 and 175 referrals from one existing ideal client source. The source can be an existing client; a prospect, a friend, acquaintance, or strategic alliance/center of influence. A person I know received in excess of 200 referrals from one strategic alliance source. I call this the ‘mother load’ of referrals. Another person received directories of groups where their client was a member with names of ideal client profile candidates highlighted and pertinent information about each one. I call these occurrences, the ‘mother load.’ It may not happen often, but it can happen to you if you believe it can. It can come to you in big numbers from all different sources. Expect it to happen and it will. Start receiving your ‘mother load’ of referrals.
